Hmmmm:

Feb 27, 2007 (AMSTERDAM) — The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor named the first two suspects accused of committing war crimes in Sudan’s Darfur region on Tuesday, a former state interior minister and a militia commander.

Chief prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo asked pre-trial judges to issue summons against Ahmed Haroun, state minister of interior during the height of the conflict, and militia commander Ali Mohamed Ali Abdelrahman, also known as Ali Kushayb.

You know what? I can’t even be bothered! The Hague named 2 suspects accused of committing war crimes in Sudan. Bleh, so what?! I’m with Black Kush. Why? Two words. Paper tiger. Sorry ICC, I hope I’m wrong but that’s how I feel.

    *nod* The ICC has no juristdiction over those who do not accept its authority, so this is just a game of appearances, to help keep the illusion of a “world authority” and “international justice”.

    It is just the appearance of a positive act, not a positive act in itself. And the suspects mentioned will have the last laugh in this particular event.

    I wish they would go after Bush and Blair for Iraq diaster! The world would be impressed. The ICC was developed for war of aggression..

    “The crime of a war of aggression is listed in Article 5.1 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (RSICC) as one of the four most serious crimes of concern to the international community, and that it falls within the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). “

    I’m looking for a photo of militia leader Ali Muhammad Ali Abd al-Rahman (A.K.A.) Ali Kushayb.

    Anyone have an idea?
